User:Heeyahha/Sedan hatchback comparison

Sedan or saloon and hatchbacks are most popular types of cars.

Advantage of sedan over hatchback

 * Exclusive passenger and boot compartments: Opening the boot does not affect the privacy of rear seat passengers.
 * Better aerodynamics: Due to smoother tail end aerodynamic drag is less.
 * Lower rear seat: In a hatchback fuel tank and stepney are packed in small space which results in higher rear seat. But in sedans lower rear seat makes for better ride.
 * Lower center of gravity in rear. This is due to lower rear seat, this reduces swaying due to roll angular inertia.
 * Better weight distribution between front and rear than a hatchback, which improves both ride and handling.

Advantage of hatchback over sedan

 * Easier maneuverability in traffic due to shorter boot. And easy for parking.
 * Lower initial cost.
